The toss played a crucial role in Gros Islet, where conditions slightly favored chasing teams. The Guyana Amazon Warriors’ captain called correctly and opted to field first, banking on his bowlers to restrict the Kings to a manageable total. The Kings, however, made it clear they were determined to set a challenging target, with their top order expected to fire.
Key players to watch:
The Kings opened their innings positively with Johnson Charles finding the gaps early. His partnership with skipper Faf du Plessis looked steady before the Warriors’ pace attack struck. Romario Shepherd dismissed Charles with a sharp bouncer, and Imran Tahir’s spin further tightened the screws.
Despite the setbacks, Roston Chase’s composed innings in the middle order helped the Kings rebuild. With handy contributions from the lower order, the Kings managed to post a competitive total in the range of 165–175 runs. The finishing touch came from some lusty blows by Alzarri Joseph, who ensured the scoreboard ticked over.
Chasing under lights, the Warriors had a solid start, courtesy of Shai Hope’s classy strokeplay. However, the Kings’ bowling attack, spearheaded by Alzarri Joseph and Kesrick Williams, was determined to keep things tight.
Shimron Hetmyer took charge during the middle overs, unleashing a flurry of boundaries that put the Warriors slightly ahead of the required rate. But the Kings found their moment when Roston Chase struck twice in quick succession, removing Hetmyer and Keemo Paul. The game suddenly tilted in favor of the Kings.
The pressure mounted as the asking rate climbed, but the experienced Imran Tahir, surprisingly promoted up the order, tried to hold his nerve. However, a sharp yorker from Joseph in the death overs sealed the Warriors’ fate.
In a nail-biting finish, the Saint Lucia Kings emerged victorious by a slim margin of around 10–15 runs. Their bowlers held their composure in the final overs, proving once again that CPL matches can swing until the very last ball.
The win pushed the Saint Lucia Kings up the CPL 2025 table, giving them much-needed momentum in the tournament. For the Warriors, it was a reality check after a string of good performances, but with their depth and balance, they remain one of the strongest contenders for the playoffs.
